Nearly two years have passed since the historic disasters of March 11, and innovation and entrepreneurship are more important than ever for Japan's economic recovery. One of the key elements of Japan's economic recovery is increasing the presence of women in the workforce, particularly women in business. While the role of female business executives is vital, female innovators and entrepreneurs are a critical part of Japan's further economic growth. In recognition of U.S. Women's History Month and International Women's Day, March 8th, Dr. Loeb will address the ACCJ and discuss some of her ideas on how Japan can better recognize breakthrough ideas that have the potential to help improve Japan's economic stance and better include women in the workforce. Come and join us for an enlightening discussion!
